The State Ukrainian Committee
of Hydrology and Meteorology observed
atmospheric air pollution state in Kyiv at 16
stationary posts. It observes contents of basic
polluted substances. They are dust, sulphur
dioxide, oxide carbon, nitrogen dioxide, and
specific matters (nitric oxide, dissolved
sulphates, sulphuretted hydrogen, phenol,
fluoric hydrogen, chlorous hydrogen, ammonia,
benzapilene, formaldehyde, heavy metals).
A presence of heavy metals in
atmospheric air (cadmium, iron, manganese,
copper,nikel, lead, chrome and zinc) are marked
at 5 supervisions posts. Average annual
concentration and maximum monthly concentration
as whole in the town and at some posts for last
years do not exceed to appropriate indices GDK
(connected with productions state).
The most polluted regions are
invariably the regions near metro stations
" Svyatoshin" and
"Shulyavska", the regions of Podilsko-
Kurenevskii and Darnitskii industrial knots and
also the central part of the town.
Background concentration of
nitrogen dioxide and nitrogen oxide is
accordingly 0,1546 and 0,0953 mg/m3. The average
annual concentration of nitrogen dioxide
considerably exceeds GDK over the all town
territory. At 9 posts from 16 concentrations
were within 2 GDK. Three town regions (
Obolonskii avenue, PSZ (Air quality observation
post) 17, Brest-Litovskii avenue,PSZ 11 and
L.Ukrayinki avenue) have a pollution level still
higher – accordingly 2,1, 2,3 and 2,1
GDK.
Maximum one time concentration
about 7 GDK was observed at PSZ 11
(Brest-Litovskii avenue, 144). On other
territory maximum GDK concentration was within
2-4,5 GDK. Repetition of one time concentration
higher GDK is high in all regions within 30
-50%.
Maximum repetition (48%) is
fixed at PSZ 11, and minimum one (1-8%) is at
PSZ 5,13,15.
A presence of nitrogen oxide in
atmosphere does not exceed established norms.
Background concentration of sulphur dioxide is
0,0709 mg/m3. Concentration distribution is
homogeneous over all the town territory. Value
of concentrations is about GDK, but do not
exceeds it.
Background carbon oxide
concentration is 3,5449 mg/m3. Average annual
concentration is lower GDK at all the posts.
Only at two posts they reached GDK, it is at PSZ
7 (Besarabska square) and 20 (Moskovska
square).
Maximum annual concentration is
about 2 GDK. It was observed at 8 town's posts.
At PSZ 6, PSZ 9 and PSZ 20 it was accordingly
3,2, 3,6 and 4 GDK.The highest concentration
value was fixed on PSZ 7. It is 5,2 GDK.
Repetition percentage of one
time concentrations that is higher GDK is low
and does not exceed 4%, only at PSZ 6 (Peremogi
square) it reached to 7%, and at PSZ 7 it is
13%.
Background dust concentration
is 0,2290 mg/m3. Average annual atmosphere
dusting does not exceed established norms. GDK
exceeding of one time concentrations values also
does not be observed.
So, Kyiv as administrative
centre with developed transport infra-structure
has high atmospheric air pollution in regions
adjoining to motorway, crossroads. While
inspecting of air quality the GDK exceeding are
frequently observed by such pollutant as
nitrogen dioxide, benzapilene,
too.
